 placing another one of the first attribute units in the first arrangement column along the orientation direction of the game object, and pushing the one of the first attribute units to move along the orientation direction of the game object; and 
 placing another one of the second attribute units in the first arrangement column opposite to the orientation direction of the game object, and pushing the one of the second attribute units to move opposite to the orientation direction of the game object, until the first attribute units and the second attribute units are all placed in the first arrangement column. 
 
     
     
       3. The combat control method according to  claim 1 , wherein obtaining b second arrangement columns of horizontal dimension x by separating along the vertical direction in the arrangement area, and placing the each second game unit in the second arrangement columns to form the combat lineup comprises:
 obtaining b second arrangement columns of horizontal dimension x by separating along the vertical direction in the arrangement area, wherein the second arrangement columns do not overlap the first arrangement column; 
 classifying the operation units into third attribute units and fourth attribute units according to an attribute type; 
 placing one of the third attribute units in a second arrangement column along an orientation direction of the game object, and placing one of the fourth attribute units in the second arrangement column opposite to the orientation direction of the game object; 
 placing another one of the third attribute units into the second arrangement column along the orientation direction of the game object, and pushing the one of the third attribute units to move along the orientation direction of the game object; and 
 placing another one of the fourth attribute units in the second arrangement column opposite to the orientation direction of the game object, and pushing the one of the fourth attribute units to move opposite to the orientation of the game object, until the third attribute units and the fourth attribute units are all placed in the second arrangement column. 
 
     
     
       4. The combat control method according to  claim 1 , wherein
